All-22: Opponents Picking Up On Eagles’ Tendencies

[landroverking]

The speed at which the Chippie wants to run his offense requires he applies the KISS rule. Not that hard to quess what's coming to the trained eye in the NFL.

I thought they had a great OL. One guy on NFL network ranked them second behind the Cowboys.

Before they just outright cut Mathis but peters had a strong opinion comparing the ols.

Lane Johnson graded out at a +0.6. I'm going to guess he is just making excuses. /loser

He was overconfident from the preseason.
Said it himself.
No joke.

They thought they were going to come in and smash butt.
Really.
They thought that.
For real.

Ha ha!
Goobs.

Defenses knew our Offensive tendencies during our Super Bowl years. They knew Load Left was coming. They just couldn't stop it.

chip holds scheme over player. he believes its not so much the right player but the scheme. his fault for sure. not all players can execute properly.

Talent is what matters in the NFL.

 

[Wood]

garbage article. The eagles got beat. They need to deal with it like grown men.

Talent is what matters in the NFL.

can one execute properly with mediocre talent in the NFL? does talent and execution go hand and hand?

Regardless, Eagles reality must be sobering to Jeffery Lurie and the fans.
Makes me very happy.

So Linebacker 101 is a lot like Dating 101.

or rapist 101

When they cut Mathis and Herramens with no viable replacements, they crippled the OL. They dropped from the top 5 to lower half.

Also doesn't help that Jason Peters suddenly looks old.

Not sure why some here are taking it as an insult that it's being said the Cowboys picked up tendencies and exploited them. It's a sign of quality coaching on the part of the Cowboys. I certainly wouldn't take it as an insult. In a league where there is a lot of parity, coaching can play a significant role.

I see this story and it tells me Marinelli did a fantastic job. I don't see it as excuse making by the Eagles. If anything, it's pointing out that their genius coach ain't such a genius it seems.

Seems backwards to me. Kelly thinks if he runs plays fast enough, it doesn't really matter who the players are running them. Over his first three years as Philly personnel genius, he has dumped multiple Pro Bowl players and basically not replaced them.

Running plays fast and the off season personell acquisitions/releases is exactly what had most scratching their heads.

I still don't get it.

Seems the Eagles don't either. Athletes specifically.

 

[dmq]

They got Sean Lee'd and can't handle it.

Hence the "Choo Choo" from Larry Allen.
